* Tips for Participants

Dress Code: Most staff and attendees dress “business casual”, i.e. no jeans. You will probably do a LOT of walking, so be sure to bring comfortable shoes! Also, it’s going to be hot and humid outside and cold inside, so bring layers.

Plan to arrive in D.C. in the afternoon/evening on Thursday, June 21 and leave in the afternoon on Tuesday, June 26.

Check out the March issue of American Libraries. It has an extra booklet with loads of useful information about programs, speakers, social events, etc.

Remember that you are responsible for paying for any ticketed/preconference events out of your own pocket (this includes the Scholarship Bash and volunteer programs, etc.), although ALA is providing your general registration. Please do not register for any of these events until you have your work assignment.

First time attendee resources: The New Members Round Table "All-Conference 101" happens Friday and Saturday at 8:00 am - get a comprehensive orientation to the day's events and maximize your time.

Bring your laptop if you'll be taking classes during the summer. Lines at the conference internet stations may be long!
